Some closed tears to the edges with a little associated creasing in places. The colouring to the front panel and spine remain very bright. The wrapper artwork looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. A novel, based on the author's famous play, 'A Threepenny Opera'. Translated from the German by Desmond I. Vesey with the chapter-head verses translated by Christopher Isherwood. The first Brecht volume to appear in English. Very scarce with the wrapper in such condition. Collectible.
